Performance Engineering did the engine build (427W - Dart block, AFR Heads) and install on my SPF, 2080, two years ago and I have 7k miles on it. I have had no problems. I believe Eric did and does a fine install. However, if the 15K is not a problem for you, then I would have to go with Power Surge's recommendation for the same reasons he gave. And yes, I am 100 percent satisfied with the SPF.

I am just thinking about resale later on, and of course with the CSX4000 you can say when asked if it's a Cobra, "Why yes it's a Cobra, not original, but a continuation," instead of "Why no it's not a kit car, but it is a factory built replica sold by Superformance, and made by Hi-Tech in South Africa....the SAME company that makes some of Shelby's continuation Cobras....BUT it IS licensed by Shelby....pause, take a breadth...God am I tired of saying that. It might be worth 15K just not to have to tell the same story time after time. Anyway, both Hi-Tech cars are great, and you can't go wrong either way, depends on your purpose, and your bank account. Can't help with the engine, looks like that info has been posted anyway. Good luck!
